A young ICT teacher at Ansah Redeemed Basic School, Mr Prince Nkrumah, has been found dead in his room after reported emotional challenges linked to a broken relationship. The community is grieving his sudden loss.

Community Mourns Loss of Dedicated ICT Teacher

The Ansah Redeemed Basic School community has been plunged into grief following the sudden death of Mr Prince Nkrumah, popularly known among his pupils as Sir Skinny. The young ICT teacher, admired for his humour and warm approach to teaching, was found dead in his room on Thursday, 18 November.According to information gathered from neighbours and close acquaintances, Mr Nkrumah had been battling emotional distress in the weeks leading up to the incident.

Background of Emotional Strain

Sources indicate that Mr Nkrumah had supported a young woman through her nursing education at Assinman Nursing and Midwifery Training College at Assin Fosu. He reportedly financed her studies from level 100 to 300, offering consistent emotional and material support.However, after the woman completed her programme, the relationship deteriorated. She is said to have told him she had found a new partner and encouraged him to move on with his life, assuring him that someone else would appreciate him better.Friends disclosed that this development deeply affected the young teacher.

Signs of Withdrawal Before His Death

Colleagues at Ansah Redeemed Basic School noted that Sir Skinny had recently become unusually quiet and withdrawn. The once lively and humour-filled teacher had grown distant in the classroom and among staff members. He often explained his mood by saying he was tired or that pupils were struggling to grasp lessons.Unbeknown to many, he was struggling with heavy emotional pain.When the situation worsened, he reportedly approached his landlord, seeking help to speak to the woman on his behalf. Attempts to reach her failed, and messages from him allegedly went unanswered.

Discovery and Final Note

Mr Nkrumah was later found dead in his room. A note left behind suggested that he had made a personal decision to end his life, urging his family not to mourn him too heavily.The incident has left the school community and residents in shock, with many recalling his cheerful nature and dedication to his pupils.

A Call for Emotional Support and Awareness

The tragedy has renewed conversations about the need for emotional care, mental health awareness, and community support systems. It reinforces the message that those who appear cheerful on the outside may be carrying silent burdens.Community leaders and colleagues are urging the public to check on friends, family, and co-workers, especially when behavioural changes are noticed.
